VOCABULARY 


The  gender  of  nouns  is  indicated  by  the  initial  letters  m.,  /.,  n.  Of 
masculine  and  neuter  nouns  the  genitive  singular  and  nominative 
plural  are  indicated,  of  feminine  nouns  the  nominative  plural  only. 

Verbs  separably  compounded  have  a  hyphen  between  the  prefix 
and  the  simple  verb.  Of  strong  verbs  the  principal  parts  are  given 
followed  by  the  vowel  of  the  third  person  singular  indicative,  if  it 
differs  from  that  of  the  first  person.  Unless  otherwise  stated  the 
auxiliary  of  the  perfect  tense  is  understood  to  be  fyaben. 

Infinitives  and  adjectives  used  as  nouns  and  participles  used  as 
adjectives  have  been  noted  separately  only  when  a  distinct  mean- 
ing has  developed. 

In  addition  to  the  more  common  abbreviations  the  following  have 
been  used: 

abbr.=>  abbreviation  mus.  =  music 

arch.  =  archaic  poet.  =  poetic 

dial.  =  dialectic  sep.  «=  separable 
fig.    -  figurative
